The Prom

Broadway stars Dee Dee Allen (Meryl Streep) and Barry Glickman (James Corden) decide they need a celebrity cause to rehabilitate their reputations and overcome their latest scathing reviews in THE PROM. Together with fading chorus girl Angie Dickinson (Nicole Kidman) and between-gigs Juilliard grad Trent Oliver (Andrew Rannells), they decide to travel to small-town Indiana to support a high schooler, Emma (Jo Ellen Pellman), whose desire to take her closeted girlfriend, Alyssa (Ariana DeBose), to prom has prompted the bigoted local PTA, led by Alyssa's mom (Kerry Washington), to cancel the event entirely. Emma has the support of the school principal (Keegan-Michael Key), who turns out to be a huge fan of Dee Dee's. But the Broadway folks will face a rude awakening when they swoosh into town only to find their presence elicits no special treatment and they can't instantly solve problems with a song and a dance. Instead, they'll have to face up to their actual motivations and put their own interests aside, for once, to connect with the locals and support Emma.
